Question

1. distribute the expression $5(4w + 3z - 5y)$.

$5(4w + 3z - 5y) = $ enter your next step here

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

Using the distributive property \( a(b + c + d)=ab + ac + ad \), we distribute 5 to each term inside the parentheses:
\( 5\times4w + 5\times3z - 5\times5y \)

Step2: Calculate each product

Calculate each multiplication:
\( 20w + 15z - 25y \)

Answer:

\( 20w + 15z - 25y \)
